Not at present unfortunately. Main implementation is Ruby, which can be
compiled to Javascript or a Java library. There is also a Python
implementation and ongoing work to produce Haskell and Rust implementations.

Do we have any C/C++ Open Source Parser for AsciiDoc? Fully-featured,
tested...

Well, by mistake I wrote md4qt. I know what this work is (parse Markup 
languages). It's not so trivial task, and it needs a lot of time to 
write and test such things. But I didn't say no. If I have md4qt, where 
I have Document for a tree representation, I can have a look at AsciiDoc 
and write something like asciidoc4qt, that will use the same structures 
for parsed document. In this case we can use absolutely the same 
converter to PDF.


I can start such thing. Ok. Does AsciiDoc have well documented format? 
Does it have a set of tests?


I don't know how complicated AsciiDoc format is, maybe it's simpler of 
Markdown?


Markdown, despite its apparent simplicity, is a little complicated in 
implementation. I've made 356 commits to implement and test it, and 
spent some time for it, but it worth it.


In case of markdown-tools, if it will support CommonMark 0.31.2 with 
major GFM and latest AsciiDoc, will you accept my project?

Yes.

It is more complicated than Markdown as it is more complete and allows
for some self-consistent extensibility.

Cannot answer whether the project will be accepted, am not a sponsor.
It seems you are following the  review process.

There is a lack of tools for AsciiDoc, but would not make that the
primary concern.  If it can be done, it would be nice, but it seems
challenging.

More complete is not more complex for parsing... In Markdown a lot of 
complexes. But I will think on it.

The problem is that I see users of AsciiDoc even less of Markdown...

Guys, could anybody explain me what does mean "Sponsor" in context of 
KDE Incubator?
